This is all I could find with a quick look at the rule book. I know there's more, but I didn't have time to research it.

d. Faking being fouled by an opponent when confirmed by instant replay during a review for a flagrant foul, contact dead ball technical foul or flagrant 2 contact technical foul. (See Rule 11-2.1.d.6.)

6. To determine if a player faked being fouled (Rule 10-3.1.d), but only as part of an instant replay review to determine if a flagrant personal foul, or contact dead ball technical or a flagrant 2 contact technical foul occurred.

So does that mean 'flopping' can only be called in cases of flagrant fouls?????

That's what it seems with the way these rules are written, but unless there has been a change I don't know about there is a "flop" rule, and it should be called when it happens and the penalty is a technical foul. I will look more tomorrow after we get back from the heart Dr.
